To @ZZ whom it may concern/.-

Be it known that I, DIETRICHGLEIM, a citizen of the United States,residing at Hastings, in the county of Daliota and State of Minnesota,have invented a new and useful I-Iame Attachment, of which the followingis a specification.

This invention has relation to hame attachments; and it consists in thenovel construction and arrangement of its parts, as hereinafter shownand described.

The object of the invention is to provide a hame attachment with averticallyadjust able tug in order that the connectingpoint between thetrace and the hame may be adjusted as conditions may require. At thesame time the hame-tug is free to swing hori- Zontally with relation tothe hame, and thus the means of attachment between the ha`me andthetrace does not interfere with the movement of the shoulders of thedraftanimal.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a hameiitted with my attachment. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional -view of theattachment. j

The hame 1 is rovided with the spaced eyes 2 2. The bo t 3 is 'seated atits ends in the openings of the eyes 2 2. The sleeve 4 is journaled uponthe bolt 3 and bears at its ends against the sides of the eyes 2 2. Thetrace-clip 5 comprises the horizontally-disposed eye 6 and thevertically-disposed loop 7. The trace (not shown) is adapted to beattached to the loop 7. The eye 6 receives 3 5 the sleeve 4 and the saideye is providedwith a set-screw 8, which engages at its inner end thesurface of the sleeve 4. The said eye 6 may be 'adjusted longitudinallyof the sleeve 4 and secured in suchv adjusted position by 4o. d

means of the set-screw 8. By this means 1t `will kbe observed ythatthepointof attach-v ment between the tracey and the hame may be adjustedvertically,l and by reason of the p fact that the sleeve 4 is journaledupon the 45 pin 3 the said sleeve and trace-clip may swing laterallywith relation to the hame.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is- 5o In combination with a hame, spaced eyesattached thereto, a bolt seated at its end in the openings of the eyes7al sleeve yjournaled upon the bolt .and bearing at its ends against thesides of the eyes, a trace-clip having ay 55 horizontally-disposed,eyewhich receives said sleeve and which is capable of longitudinal movementthereon, said clip-eye having a se at screw, Asaid clip having avertically-disposed loop for attachment with the trace. 6o Intestimonythat I claim the Jforegoing as my own I have hereto aHiXed my signaturein the presence of two witnesses.

DIETRICH GLEIM.
